Let's try out some Walking Dead style zombie makeup! Woo woo woo!
Here's what you need:
Liquid latex, dollar store paintbrushes,
make-up sponges, face paint
facial tissues, a light BB cream or foundation
oatmeal, a cup for mixing,
ice block sticks and some fake blood!
I'm using white liquid latex BUT
I think a colourless one would be infinitely better. If possible.
Using your CHEAP paintbrush (the latex will destroy it)
let's start with mah big forehead ;)
DON'T GET IT ON YOUR HAIR
...unless you wanna go bald, in which case, go ahead!
Next we're gonna mix up some oatmeal with the latex
coz the folks at The Walking Dead said to!
This completely ruined my paintbrush Jimmy, btw, the tongue depressors are better-suited to this job. Sorry Jimmy.
Using and iceblock stick, apply the oatmeal over the latex.
This will help create an effect like that of rotting zombie skin! Yeah!
Nose time! Rip up a facial tissue and apply it on top of the latex.
This should also make your skin all zombie-like!
I'm going to set this with some latex!
Now let's create a scary wound.
I'm going to use tissues and latex but you can also use gelatine for an even cooler texture.
Take your light BB cream (or foundation) and apply!
I'm going to disguise the white a little.
Now use your face paints however you like!
I went mainly for dark colours, but I think green would be a good addition too.
Make sure you disguise any exposed skin, too.
Painting some red on as a base for the wound.
And pulling at the edges of the latex to create the effect of cut decaying skin.
I want to be a REALLY SCARY ZOMBIE so I'm going to apply this unnatural black.
And then I'm going to mix black and blue and apply loads of it. Why not! :D
This is my attempt at contouring and then realising you can't really contour over wounds. Huh.
Camera totally ran out of battery oops.
FAKE BLOOD TIME!
Mimei...you're looking pretty scary...
Use as you see fit :D
Uh...on your nose? Are you sure? Uh...nevermind.
Conceal those dark circles...with blood.
Now I'm going to line my waterline with white to conceal it and make my face scarier. (If possible.)
Lastly (or first if you prefer) use conditioner to zombie up your hair.
BRAINNNNNNNNNNS
Have a great Halloween!
